The food at Lakeside Tavern is great, but the atmosphere is even better. Sitting right on the water, it offers stunning sunset views that make every visit feel special. The service is consistently good — attentive without being overbearing — and the bathrooms are always clean and well-kept. Whether you’re stopping by for a nice dinner or just to enjoy the view with a drink, Lakeside Tavern never disappoints.

The name says it all !Lakeside Tavern offers a relaxing dining experience with stunning views. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, and the patio seating was the perfect place to enjoy the sunset. Service was attentive from start to finish, and pricing felt fair given the quality and setting. I also liked being able to stroll by the water afterwards, with extra seating available below the patio. Truly one of the highlights of my trip.

The atmosphere was gorgeous. A view of the lake from the restaurant, the server was kind and attentive. The food was tasty and unique. We had the Ahi Tuna appetizer, fish and chips and a Parmesan Pistachio Trout. The strawberry lemon drop was small, and was very sweet with little resemblance of having alcohol-not worth the 14 dollars.

Always a great experience dining at Lakeside Tavern. The food is consistently excellent, the drinks are well made, and the atmosphere is pleasant and enjoyable every time.
Especially in the summer, the views—both outdoors and from inside—are beautiful, creating a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The service is always attentive, professional, and warm. It’s a place I genuinely enjoy and happily bring friends and family.

We love this place! It’s our favorite restaurant in Knoxville. The ambiance out on the patio is PERFECT! It’s so comfortable when we come, which so far is lunch time.
Don’t get me started on the delicious fresh bread they serve because it’s like CRACK!
My husband and I split the Mustard Dill Salmon as it comes with broccoli and Yukon mashed potatoes. It was DELICIOUS and the salmon AND broccoli were both cooked perfectly.
The inside tables have nice views too.

The restaurant but is very beautiful with stunning views over looking the lake. The server was very attentive and kept out drinks filled. Unfortunately the downside would be the food. It was not bad but it was not what you would expect for the prices. We went with a large party which may have impacted the quality of the food but it was not super busy at the time we dined. I would recommend the chicken pasta and the brussel sprouts as an appetizer. Everything else was good just not what we were expecting. The ribeye was not impressive and seemed to have very little seasoning if any which was a little surprising considering it was $38. Maybe we just missed the star menu items that really make this place great but my guess is you pay for the view. Overall the experience was pretty average but not something that was impressive that leaves me wanting to eat their again.

Atmosphere took the trophy here. Even when you’re not on the patio lakeside, inside dining had such a sleek vibe to it. Somehow they’ve figured out how to create an intimate/cozy setting but with a large amount of space and modern touch. The cocktail and cocktail options were so good it was hard to decide. While their menu is on the smaller side food wise, everything we tried was delicious and fresh.

An excellent experience at Lakeside Tavern. Our server was spot on the food was delicious. We ordered the New England clam chowder bowl and shared it. The bread was fantastic and fresh. I had the spicy shrimp and chicken bowtie pasta. My husband had the honey glazed salmon salad. Food was delicious. Price was perfect atmosphere was great. We had a beautiful view from our table. We also enjoyed the Adirondack rocking chairs on the outside patio overlooking the marina after we ate.
